Oct 2, 2021
In this game, you can…
- build a working CPU starting from a single NAND gate.
- design your own instruction set, choose the opcodes, and write programs in your own assembly language.
- install a keyboard, monitor, sound, network, and a file reader that can pull bytes from your real computer into the simulated machine.
- make your own reusable chips, then drop them into later levels so your earlier designs become the parts of bigger machines.
- wire up an ALU, registers, jumps, and input/output, then run assembly programs on the computer you built.
- finish a working computer, then scrap it and rebuild a better one with RAM, a stack, and call/return.
- program a robot to solve a maze in your own assembly, then use that same machine to run Towers of Hanoi and bubble sort.
